Last night June 16 07 I tried to review the video footage from the days shootings and all I get is a blue screen on the vcr playback mode on the camera. Following page 31 and 96 in the manual resulted in still no image during play back. I swapped out the dvc cassette for one that I knew was good and no footage was able to be played back either. Reset camera back to factory default, took the battery off and used the power supply... nothing. I went to sony's site and reviewed the warrantee and repair page and found that if I was to ship it out to sony for them to fix the bench cost is a flat fee of $249.00 right off. They stated that this is mainly for labor. The camera is fantastic but not when hardware dies from 9 hours of footage. Any dark areas is a horror show with out lighting, and to get proper lighting for dark scenes really takes to long to setup and then shoot. Just my 2 sence, and feeling had right now!
